Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 1818 - 1819: Xiang Yu’s Army Prepares for Battle
Rolaff intended to help Commander Cao, but his forces were all in the south; the northern forces had already withdrawn.
All that was left was the intelligence network, which wasn’t part of the combat sequence, so when Commander Cao mentioned the geographical location, Rolaff knew he couldn’t help this time.
"What do you mean?" Commander Cao said angrily.
In the past, he wouldn’t have cared about Xia Cheng and them—it was just a mercenary unit. Given time, he could build another one sooner or later.
But now the international situation is severe, and his forces in Little Syria have also suffered setbacks, plus many intelligence networks have been dismantled.
He vaguely felt that it seemed like some organization was targeting them, but he couldn’t find out at the moment.
"If your people were trapped in the south, I would rescue them no matter what, but right now, I don’t have that capability either." Rolaff said apologetically.
"Rolaff, you are messing with me." Commander Cao shouted angrily.
"Am I that kind of person, Commander Cao? We’ve been working together for so long, you should know what I’m like." Rolaff defended.
Although he couldn’t help the other party, he didn’t want their relationship to become strained, as he might need him in the future.
"Hmph, you know yourself." Commander Cao didn’t say more and hung up the phone directly.
He paced back and forth in the office. At this moment, the phone rang again.
Seeing it was Xia Cheng calling, he hung up immediately. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Currently, Xia Cheng was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. If there was no support soon, they wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
Seeing that Commander Cao wasn’t answering his call, he got his answer, and sat weakly on the ground.
"Captain, Captain, we can’t hold on anymore."
At this time, someone ran over shouting.
Xia Cheng ignored him, just sat there numb-faced. Little Pakistan’s troops were endless; after driving them back, more would rush in.
At this moment, Xia Cheng felt a sense of despair.
Just then, his phone rang, and he lazily picked it up to take a look. Seeing that it was Xiang Yu calling, he perked up immediately.
"How could I forget about you, kid?" Xia Cheng said excitedly and then glanced at the brothers beside him, "Charge up and hold them off for me."
The man didn’t understand why the captain’s expression changed so dramatically, only nodded and charged with his gun to the front line.
Xia Cheng composed himself and said, "Xiang Yu, I need your help right now."
"I’ve been waiting here for you for half an hour, why aren’t you here yet?" Xiang Yu said with some complaint.
"Something happened on my end, I need your help," Xia Cheng said eagerly.
Now, Little Pakistan’s troops were closing in; if they waited any longer, no one might be able to save them.
"Why do I hear gunfire over there, what’s going on?" Xiang Yu pretended not to know.
"I’ve been attacked by an unknown force, it’s very dangerous now, I hope you can come help me, as fast as possible," Xia Cheng said.
He didn’t say that Little Pakistan’s troops had surrounded him, worried that Xiang Yu might hesitate to come.
"Where are you?" Xiang Yu asked urgently.
Xia Cheng quickly told Xiang Yu his location, then said, "You better send more people over, there are a lot of them."
"Okay, wait there, I’ll send people over now," Xiang Yu said.
"Xiang Yu, don’t take it lightly, make sure to send more people, the whole mountain is surrounded," Xia Cheng emphasized, worried Xiang Yu might not take it seriously.
"Rest assured, I know," Xiang Yu said and then hung up the phone abruptly.
Xia Cheng wanted to say more, but seeing the call disconnected, he could only sigh.
Now, in such a critical situation, he could only pin his hopes on Xiang Yu.
His relationship with Xiang Yu wasn’t good, and they even had a somewhat adversarial relationship. But now, he had no other choice.
Seeing his brothers being driven back, he picked up his gun and charged forward.
"Hold on for me, our support is arriving soon, hold on," Xia Cheng shouted.
The Menghu Mercenary Corps members, hearing their support was arriving, suddenly regained their spirit.
"Shoot, shoot hard."
Someone shouted at this moment, and the surrounding gunfire erupted, dense bullets sweeping down.
Little Pakistan’s troops, seeing victory in sight, excitedly charged forward. But at that moment, dense bullets rained down, and many rushing forward fell immediately.
The Commander stood behind, feeling very pained; this time he underestimated the enemy. If he had known the base was so hard to attack, he would have brought in the armored vehicles.
At the time, because armored vehicles moved slowly and were hard to hide, he found it troublesome and didn’t deploy them.
Now, seeing so many soldiers going down, he realized the severity of the problem.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, his position as Commander would be untenable.
Wu Jing and the others were on another mountain, watching the battle, unable to help but sigh.
As long as there is war, there are casualties, this is unavoidable, but seeing so many people lying in a pool of blood, he felt uncomfortable.
"Gone soft?" Xiao Xuan turned and lay there.
Wu Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying nothing.
Just then, Wu Jing’s phone rang. It was Xiang Yu calling.
"Prepare to join the battle in ten minutes. Break through in one go and rescue Xia Cheng," Xiang Yu said seriously.
"What about the others?" Wu Jing asked.
"Only save Xia Cheng, don’t worry about the others," Xiang Yu said coldly, "What’s the situation over there?"
Wu Jing explained the current situation to Xiang Yu.
Both sides had suffered significant losses. Although Little Pakistan’s troops were well-equipped and trained, many still lay in pools of blood.
On the Menghu Mercenary Corps side, after the recent bombardment, their base was destroyed. The casualties were unclear, but judging by the current firepower, the losses were severe.
"The operation needs to be fast. Create a breakthrough before Little Pakistan’s troops react. Don’t get entangled in the fight," Xiang Yu instructed.
"Got it, Brother Yu," Wu Jing replied decisively.
Now, Little Pakistan’s troops were entirely focused on attacking the base, not knowing someone was behind them.
If Wu Jing’s group acted quickly and confused Little Pakistan’s troops, rescuing Xia Cheng wouldn’t be a problem.
Ending the call, Xiang Yu sent Xia Cheng’s phone number to Wu Jing, instructing him to contact Xia Cheng.
"Brother Yu, should we go over there too?" Tie Zhuzi, unable to sit still, suggested.
"It’s probably already too late, let’s head back to the base," Xiang Yu knew there was no point in being there anymore, as Xia Cheng wouldn’t come. Thus, he called Tie Zhuzi to go downstairs.
Wu Jing conveyed Xiang Yu’s intentions to Xiao Xuan, and the two studied the terrain to formulate their operational plan.
Xiao Xuan was more familiar with the terrain and explained the various possibilities to Wu Jing.
In the end, they decided to attack from the relatively steep southern mountain...
